Been using it since 2016, and I would say the advantages are mostly related to their DevOps features - there are integrations with k8s, SentryIO, and Prometheus to help you with operations.

Their CI/CD pipelines also seem a bit more refined than GitHub actions - maybe it is just a maturity thing though? That could also just be my inexperience with GitHub Actions.

I think there are also some project management differences in how the items are setup. GitLab, at the premium tier, has epics where I believe GitHub doesn't any distinction.

That being said I believe you kind of trade features with GitHub depending on how much you pay for each platform. Both are pretty good products as far as I am concerned.
We should ban these personal rant posts like

1. Stop doing **

2. Why I don't like **

3. You should not **

It's your personal thing. Don't like certain thing - try to do it your own way. Can't do it then change your attitude.
At the time, a couple of years ago, better management of issues over a large number of projects (dozens) and Gitlab CI.

GitHub has caught on up on a few things since then.
> this path was both realtime & still http/resource centric

There's always long-polling. :) Not quite as efficient as Server Push, but the logical behavior is similar in that the server pushes an HTTP resource at the client.
Why is that the unethical "tipping-point"? Why doesn't this farm address the other ethical issues with dairy farming like Sexual Assault, Forced Pregnancy, Mutilation, Infanticide, or Murder?

The answer is that it would not be profitable. This whole venture, stem to stern, is a lesson in ethics-washing.
Out of curiosity how come you never did one for Elixir as part of cooperpress? Half expected/hoped you’d start one at some point.
Great, I have always wanted something like this. The part I wanted to capture was the process of easily sharing links with specific people or groups of people. I find I have a set of friends to whom I often want to share some web link and always wished I could structure this better, have history, comments etc. It's a really common type of communication I have with friends; at least for me
> you want a slow evolution which means you suppress ideas so they spread more slowly

So is this your viewpoint on all forms of diversity, such as racial and socioeconomic inclusion? Or are you selectively changing your definition as you go?

> And the existence of giant corporate beasts, massive wealth concentration...

This has nothing to do with what we're discussing here.

> foreign influence over elections

So you recognize foreign influence over elections, but think it's ok to silence people whose underlying animosity is rooted around accusations of foreign influence in the most recent election?

> and hide externalities

Interesting choice of words considering you're in support of literally hiding externalities of the situation as a whole
Except the Culture has a very strong taboo against reading someone's mind, and they also have a strong taboo against bumping into the simulation problem, which means that the Minds won't 100% know what the humans will do, and this is the preferred state of society.

The ship/mind Grey Area is explicitly condemend and ostracised from polite society because of it, for example.

(The simulation problem: If you want to simulate a society of sentient beings to figure out what they would do, then your simulated entities also have to be sentient for your simulation to be 100% accurate, but then you've accidentally created sentient life, which has rights, so shutting down your simulation is genocide, which means you now have to commit to keeping that simulation running for eternity, which is too much of a bother so you shouldn't do it in the first place.)
I wrote a similar article 2 years ago (https://minimaxir.com/2018/10/data-science-protips/) arguing against MOOCs for learning data science/machine learning skills, as they are not reflective of real world applications.

I'm all for personal projects especially in DS/ML (it's how I started my career in the field), but the unfortunate reality is that there's really no way nowadays to learn the hard/boring parts of DS/ML without already having a DS/ML job. Any attempts at an analogous MOOC/YouTube would likely not be very popular.

That said, the DS/ML job market 2 years later is even more competitive, and niche personal projects on your resume are no longer enough. Even after working as a data scientist for 3 years, I'm not confident I could get another DS/ML job.
Horseshoe theory implies (if not explies, if that's a word) that going far left or far right automatically entails becoming authoritarian, and that they converge as you go farther "left" or "right". That's pretty demonstrably false, and even a two-dimensional political compass (let alone one with more axes) does a much better job of describing actual political stances than a horseshoe can. Authoritarianism v. libertarianism and socialism v. capitalism are separate and independent axes, and societies have existed across the whole gamut, corner-to-corner-to-corner-to-corner and everything in between.
> it makes us feel bad about our foreign holiday and makes entire countries switch to more expensive energy supplies

But it sure feels good to tell people that we're skipping that foreign holiday and switching to wind power for our home. BTW, I switched to renewable for my home years ago ;)
Which will be the job for the same people that put up buildings on block corners, rather than something you do yourself.
Creating a New Blogging Platform
How does EA station status work? Do the latest EVs have a way of pulling realtime availability data from the network, or do you have to use a phone app? (Or is it not possible at all?)

IMO, more important than catching up to Tesla's headstart in total number of chargers, is just to have reliable station information before you arrive. This doesn't have to work on every network-- just enough of them to trust the system. I won't say it's trivial, but it should be fairly easy to work towards. Each network needs to have a way of exposing charger status, and the vehicles need the software to query them. Again, they don't need to support every single possible charger vendor, but the more the better.

The user won't (usually) care if they are unaware of a few chargers they could have used, but they want data on the ones they plan to use, and they want that data to be accurate.
Stupidity Is Part of Human Nature (2018)
Genuine question: how can poor whites join with POC, given how the systemic racial injustice narrative has developed? I would be worried about a “this protest isn’t about your situation, white person” response. (Given the current tenor)
Heck. It damages adult brains.

I have learned to avoid Facebook, and barely ever look at Twitter.

It has resulted in a drastic improvement in my general mood.
I think in 2021 the only sensible thing to do is use an autoformatter and force it to run before merging changes. Just don't have the discussion.
To piggyback off afavour's comment: I do wish they would provide a button to prompt the sharing if for some, unexplainable (yet not uncommon) reason it doesn't automatically trigger the sharing tray
I think this opinion is popular because Substack is still a baby that hasn't had to deal grown-up situations. We're always pure and grandstanding when we're young and we don't have to make hard decisions, for we're not in hard situations that require them in the first place.

It's easier for a service to say "We'll always stand by our users" when they have like two users, and none of are heads of states, controversial personalities with huge audiences, diplomats, operatives, etc.

Let's wait and see what Substack's position will become when it becomes a service that matters.
> If your business model cannot survive when a critical upstream piece of your infrastructure moves to GPL, you probably have a bad business model to begin with.

To be clear CrateDB started out as OSS and we decide to stay OSS. Elasticsearch used the Apache License and so did CrateDB. All in the spirit of OSS. Elastic are however now the ones how decided, that their business model isn't viable anymore.

> It sounds like they are making up excuses for not wanting to fully Open Source their code

We do want to make it fully open source! Everything that was under a more restrictive License is going to be offered under Apache License.
So... that's just "gas station on every corner" model taken to it's extreme, no?
>I just want to pull up, plug in, and tap my credit card.

That's exactly the way that all Polar rapid chargers work, and there's a lot of them scattered around now. The rate is lower if you join as a member though.
> But at the start, there is no substitute. And the start lasts longer than you may think.

Don't worry, he explicitly says this at the top.

> Don’t get me wrong, I love MOOCs. They’re great for trying to learn a new programming language (e.g., Python, Scala) or framework (e.g., Spark, TensorFlow) or subject (e.g., statistics, machine learning). The structured learning environment, excellent teaching, and exercises (and solutions) guide us through the best way to learn new concepts.

>But most of the time, we don’t really need it. If we already know machine learning, taking that shiny new MOOC won’t help with applying it more effectively.
Nice! does it work with .leex files for LiveView, or templates inside a LiveView .ex module? That's the biggest small issue I'm running into day to day.
> Embedded javascript to make them responsive.

We must have different definitions of 'responsive'. You don't need javascript to make a website look different due to different screen sizes.
What exactly is the code or law that is being broken here?

Don't get me wrong - guys like this should be shutdown. By who is altogether another debate.

The govt rarely loses when they bring cases like this - so they probably think they have a pretty airtight case. Any background or clarification would be helpful - as both the press release and complaint are scant on details.

We're currently using the starter edition for exactly one reason, ldap integration.

Now we're supposed to pay $240 / employee for an ldap integration?!

Not sure what we'll do but I suspect scripting some ldap integration into our gitlab will be one of the best spent times in terms of ROI for me this year.
I can usually spend more time and effort coming up with something worth the time and effort than actually taking a course.
"Even when I call my mother she can't put down her Facebook or emails for a few minutes to talk."

Anecdotally, it seems like the older generations are some of the worst offenders when it comes to this stuff. The stereotype is of two millennials sitting at a restaurant and both spending the entire meal staring at their phones. While that does happen, I think it's actually a lot more common now for older people to behave like this, maybe because they've had less time to develop any form of social or psychological resistance.

I think we need an evolution of social etiquette to account for this brave new world of self-absorption and rudeness. Pulling out your phone while in the middle of a conversation is incredibly rude, but people do it constantly, without a second thought, in both personal and professional contexts. It should be acceptable to kindly but firmly shame people for this kind of anti-social behavior, just like we'd shame people (perhaps not so kindly) if they started spitting in everyone's drinks or being blatantly cruel to others. I'm not trying to claim moral superiority, as I'm as guilty as anyone of doing it on occasion, but I'd honestly be happy if the person I'm with would say "put that thing away and pay attention to what I'm saying you dick!".
Stop doing click-bait titles.
A 401k has the specific purpose of helping individuals fund their retirement years, something society has agreed is worth providing some benefit for. There is an element of intention to the exemption and it serves a specific purpose.

> If anyone can do what they're doing, then I don't see it as particularly negative.

Typically not just anyone can do this, smaller firms do not have the resources set-up these schemes. Smaller firms are also much more likely to be slapped down by the government. The result of this is that larger corporations are further advantaged.

I think attempting to equate personal and corporate taxation is a mistake. Corporations are increasingly transnational in a way that people cannot be, and they are leveraging not just local tax codes, but often established treaties and differences between national tax codes that were introduced with different intent.
Yup. Anyone who starts to make their own furniture suddenly has a new-found appreciation for why furniture costs what it does.

That fact that you can easily spend $400-600 on the wood alone for a new dining table is staggering. (And makes you really, really careful while you build it.)

(My pandemic working-from-home desk was made of cheap box-store plywood, because I wasn't going to splurge on baltic for something that I hope I won't be using in a year. And it still cost what an IKEA desk would cost (but fits perfectly in my space, which is why I made it.))
Github is deeply subsidized by Azure's marketing budget and benefits from larger scale. Gitlab can't compete head-to-head; they'll have to pivot or partner soon.
As with so many things in life the best way probably doesn't live at either extreme. Often times I'll read about a subject and not fully understand it (and probably not even take the extra time to fully understand it) but when the problem comes up organically a light bulb goes off and I at least know what I'm googling for at that point.
Ah, gotcha. I didn't realize you were thinking about web requests.
I think one thing that 2020 that has brought to the forefront, that has been overlooked to date, how the groundwork for exporting many "white-collar" jobs the US is ready to do. I don't mean to be the Chicken Little in the room, but India and Eastern Europe have great programming resources at fractions of the cost. Management have become used to a work force that is remote and uses remote commits with communication almost entirely by email.

While there will be companies that choose to "work American", I'm sure, much like the auto industry in the 70's and 80's moving manufacturing to Mexico and importing to America while maintaining the monichre of "an American company" like Ford and Chevrolet, shareholders will demand costs be kept down. There are no shipping costs on digital goods =/
Self hosted GitHub Enterprise does not allow for public access. So you can't expose your opensource projects to the world using your own instance.
This nation was built on racialized slavery and genocide. The descendants of slaves are still owed for what we built with their ancestor's labor. We still owe Chinese immigrants for exploiting them to build our railroads. We still owe the natives for murdering and enslaving them. There's no separating race and class in america; we were explicitly built as a country with a formal racial hierarchy that formed the class strata we have now.

This is just to fend off class reductionism, which is counterproductive in our society.
> Second, I know plenty of companies where MySQL or Wordpress are not allowed to be used because they are GPL.

The fact that some companies have incompetent legal teams isn't a good argument against the GPL. There's no reason you can't use Wordpress to back a commercial website.
This, a thousand times. No one is going to mitm someone browsing my text blog. On the other hand, https creates many barriers to access, including recent version requirement, time sync, and extra cpu and bandwidth.

Why's that? What benefit would I get from switching? Is it workload-dependent?

EDIT: To be clear, I'm not disagreeing; if zstd will work better, I want to know about it so that I can switch my pools to use it.
NEWS FLASH! Tesla pours capital into building infrastructure to deploy vast fleet of BEVs!

Details in Harvard Business Review!

This would have been news in 2014 or so. That's when Tesla's efforts to get this right started being obvious. I'm glad HBR caught up to it, even if they're years late to the party.

Telsa is getting it right. For their Superchargers, they have excellent location-scouting crews, permitting crews, construction crews, alliance-building crews, and maintenance crews. Not to mention the actual equipment, centrally monitored. It's no simple thing to convince rural convenience store operators and building inspectors to install electrical equipment that draws more than a megawatt.

Most people other than Tesla customers don't know this: they lined up a world-wide network of electricians trained to install those 40a x 240v connectors at peoples' homes and businesses.

They must have imbibed Geoffrey Moore's "Crossing the Chasm." Until the Model 3 started appearing in 2017, their customers were classic early adopters. (I was one.) They managed to turn their early vehicles into Veblen goods (where demand goes up as price goes up). That would not have worked without the infrastructure they built. (I didn't buy Ludicrous Mode: it cost an extra US$15K and I would have used it once or twice for the lulz. But I did buy a big battery.)

If Tesla's mission were merely to sell cars, they would have failed. Many years ago.

Today's bafflement for me: do electric grid operators understand what's happening in the next thirty years? Do they know they're going to win almost all the business of fuel stations? Are they preparing for that? If so, they're awful quiet about it.
And that's fine, that's how some people view food and they're happy with junk food in the same way people are happy with junk furniture. Junk food and junk furniture are both consistent, cheap, simple, unsurprising, available anywhere, and sometimes that's what people want. But that's what it is - junk furniture.
>Like for example...?

Venmo/cashapp/paypal are great and basically free for small p2p transfers within the US.

ACH transfers and Wires also work well for larger amounts and have fixed costs, not a fluctuating % of a transaction value like BTC. It's also very easy to send international wires via SWIFT to most countries (including African ones). Most of the countries where it is 'hard' to wire money are under sanctions, a problem that BTC does not solve.

>You have to rely on third party actors and government to facilitate it

Yes, 3rd parties like the FDIC who insure your money for free. You also have to rely on (potentially multiple) 3rd parties if you actually want to spend your BTC on anything. You also have the added complication of price slippage.

If BTC were really better at sending money than fiat-based solutions wouldn't more people use it for that purpose by now?
Those are not ‘crappy browsers’. If we call it “Browser” it should be browser, isn’t it? It should brows pages. It was never intended to be overweighted virtal machine and not a good one by the way.

Past 8 years or so Youtube has nothing really more to offer then it was offering back then. The only new things it offers for me is overweighted dumb slow shit that fails to perform what it was perfectly doing 8 years ago, and all those slowness added for no particular reason that I could appreciate.

All of this ‘comfort’ is getting on the way or doesn’t work at all. Perfectly capable IPad Pro now is struggling to load even Youtube.

Almost every site I visit is bloated with idiotic unnecessary things that do not not even work properly.

And once you see some new idiocy appearing on some big site, the first thing you think is :‘oh no’ because you can be pretty sure that every “designer” would copy this bullshit and it will appear on every site very soon for no reason.
If that is not a dumb design by definition then what is? I would not call it even design. Those are layers and layers of garbage piled on top of each other and at this point when I see simple HTML I just wish to thank the author for lack of so called “design”.

It’s not crappy browsers - It’s crappy sites overloaded with useless features.
I didn’t see One big site lately that did become better ... not one! I wish to see one, show me one please. I wish to be mistaken there but I think it simply doesn’t exist.
Maybe the former seems pushy while the latter is inclusive. Math is about discovery and we are all in the same boat. A marketer saying "we are all in this together" feels manipulative.
What are you even talking about?

I genuinely have no idea. You mind tangibly identifying how Wikipedia has descended into chaos like you say?
this is almost exactly what i was talking about! but this seems like it uses a ring of buttons around each finger. it uses more than one discreet button per finger rather than one button per finger plus using combinations of key-presses. and i think the design is flawed ergonomically because your fingers press downward instead of inward. an ideal version of this keyboard would be a ring about the size of your palm with keys around its edge, and to use it you mate your palm with the surface of the ring and pull on each key to depress it kind of like the way you pull the trigger of a gun. has nobody really made that yet?

Bit of a tangent, but I can highly recommend the "Thinking Elixir" podcast.

The other ones are nice too, but this one starts with general Elixir community updates and has been great for me to catch up on what's new, similar to the newsletters.

And usually the interview guests are pretty great too.

Plus, I've grown fond of the very short bassoon(?) two-tone intro followed by a friendly "Hellooo", rather than the obnoxious intro music that so many podcasts go for :).
